This is a multicenter, open-label, long-term extension study in male and female patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease (AD) who must have completed one of the following studies: AAB-001-201 or AAB-001-102. All patients enrolled in Study AAB-001-251 will receive infusions of AAB-001 (bapineuzumab), including patients randomized to placebo in Study 201 and 102. Approximately 30 study sites in the US will be involved. Each patient's participation may vary from 3 months up to 84 months depending on the date of enrollment in this study.

AAB-001 (bapineuzumab) is a humanized monoclonal antibody, which binds to and potentially clears beta amyloid peptide, and is designed to provide antibodies to beta amyloid directly to the patient.

A Phase II, Multicenter, Open-Label, Long-Term Treatment Study to Determine the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Bapineuzumab (AAB-001) in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease Who Participated in Study AAB-001-201 or AAB-001-102
